Fires in Alberta, Canada, South of Great Slave Lake

Fires in the Canadian province of Alberta, just south of the border with the Northwest Territories (above), can be seen near the left edge and center of this image. A thick cloud of smoke released by the fires covers much of the lower half of the image. Visible in the Northwest Territories above the image center is the Great Slave Lake, tan and green from sediments. Upon opening the full image, the Great Bear Lake can also be seen, further north.
